After their record-breaking descent of 1934, Beebe lost interest in diving and moved on to other adventures, but Barton persevered. To his credit, Beebe always told anyone who asked that Barton was the real brains behind the enterprise, but Barton seemed unable to step from the shadows. He, too, wrote thrilling accounts of their underwater adventures and even starred in a Hollywood movie called Titans of the Deep, featuring a bathysphere and many exciting and largely fictionalized encounters with aggressive giant squid and the like. He even advertised Camel cigarettes ("They don't give me jittery nerves"). In 1948 he increased the depth record by 50 percent, with a dive to 4,500 feet in the Pacific Ocean near California, but the world seemed determined to overlook him. One newspaper reviewer of Titans of the Deep actually thought the star of the film was Beebe. Nowadays, Barton is lucky to get a mention.

在1934年那次破記錄的下海以后,畢比對潛水失去了興趣,開始轉向別的冒險工作,但巴頓依然堅持不懈。值得稱道的是,每當有人問起,畢比總是承認這項活動的真正策劃人物是巴頓,但巴頓似乎始終未能走出陰影。巴頓還寫了許多關于他們水下冒險活動的精彩故事,甚至在一部名叫《大海深處的龐然大物》的電影中擔任角色,描述一個探海球以及許多次與兇猛的大烏賊等的遭遇。那些故事是激動人心的,不過在很大程度上是虛梅的。他甚至還為駱駝牌香煙做廣告(“我抽了會神經不緊張”)。1948年,他在加利福尼亞附近的太平洋潛到了1370米的深度,把深度記錄提高了50%,但世界似乎決心不予理解。有家報紙在評論《大海深處的龐然大物》時認為,那部電影的明星其實是畢比。如今,巴頓運氣不錯,我們總算還提到他的名字。

At all events, he was about to be comprehensively eclipsed by a father-and-son team from Switzerland, Auguste and Jacques Piccard, who were designing a new type of probe called a bathyscaphe (meaning "deep boat"). Christened Trieste, after the Italian city in which it was built, the new device maneuvered independently, though it did little more than just go up and down. On one of its first dives, in early 1954, it descended to below 13,287 feet, nearly three times Barton's record-breaking dive of six years earlier. But deep-sea dives required a great deal of costly support, and the Piccards were gradually going broke.

無論如何,他快要在一個瑞士的父子小組面前黯然失色。父親叫做古斯搭·皮卡爾,兒子叫做雅克·皮卡爾。他們設計了一種新型的探測器,名叫探海艇(意思是探海潛水船)。它是在意大利的里雅斯特市制造的,因此被命名為“的里雅斯特”號,新的裝置可以獨立操作,雖然也只能上上下下。該艇建成之初,在1954年初的一次潛水中,它下潛到4000米深處。差不多是6年前巴頓創造的記錄的3倍。但是,深海潛水的成本很大,皮卡爾父子漸漸面臨破產。
